Braxton Berrios Braxton Berrios Appointed to Giants' roster
Tue, Sep 29, 2026, 1:06 PM
The Giants signed Berrios off their practice squad Tuesday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: After failing to win a spot on the Giants' roster coming out of preseason, Berrios re-signed with the organization as a member of the practice squad. The Giants then elevated him from the practice squad ahead of each of their first three games, with Berrios going without a target over 22 snaps on offense but holding a critical role on special teams as the team's kickoff and punt returner. With the Giants releasing Odell Beckham on Tuesday, Berrios will now be awarded a permanent spot on the 53-man roster. |

Isaiah Likely Isaiah Likely Only two catches vs. Tennessee
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 8:07 PM
Likely caught two of five targets for 13 yards during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: After logging 13 catches through the first two games of the regular season, Likely was held to only two receptions in Week 3, the first game with Jameis Winston as the starter instead of Jaxson Dart (knee, IR). Likely's five targets were second-most on the Giants behind Malik Nabers (six), but the scoring floors of all Giants pass catchers figure to be lower with Winston under center. That said, New York could turn the keys over to the recently acquired J.J. McCarthy if Winston continues to underwhelm. The Giants will stay home for Week 4 against the Cardinals, whose defense gave up a 6-82-2 receiving line to tight end George Kittle in a 36-30 loss to the 49ers in Week 3. |

Jameis Winston Jameis Winston Retaining starting job
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 3:04 PM
Head coach John Harbaugh reaffirmed that Winston is the Giants' starting quarterback after the team acquired J.J. McCarthy from the Vikings on Monday, Evan Barnes of Newsday reports.
Analysis: While stepping in for the injured Jaxson Dart (knee) in Week 3, Winston threw for just 118 yards on 22 pass attempts in adverse weather conditions during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans. Despite his pedestrian numbers, Winston played turnover-free football, and that performance looks as though it will give him some job security even after the Giants added McCarthy, a 2024 first-round draft pick, to their quarterback room. Even though Dart is likely out for the season, Winston will still likely need to limit mistakes and keep the Giants competitive in his future starts in order to ward off McCarthy from supplanting him on the depth chart. Next up for Winston and the Giants is a home date versus the 1-2 Cardinals this Sunday at MetLife Stadium. |

ACL tear confirmed
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 2:57 PM
Head coach John Harbaugh confirmed that Burns sustained a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans and will require season-ending surgery, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The loss of Burns -- who finished second in the NFL to only Myles Garrett with 16.5 sacks in 2025 -- is a massive blow to the Giants' pass rush. With Burns headed for knee surgery, Kayvon Thibodeaux is expected to move into a full-time role on the edge opposite 2025 first-round pick Abdul Carter. Given the timing of his knee injury, the 28-year-old Burns has a chance at completing his rehab and being ready to go for Week 1 of the 2027 campaign. |

J.J. McCarthy J.J. McCarthy Dealt to Giants for draft pick
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 11:15 AM
The Giants acquired McCarthy from the Vikings on Monday in exchange for a 2027 fifth-round pick, Tom Pelissero of Netflix reports.
Analysis: The No. 10 overall pick in the 2024 NFL Draft, McCarthy had fallen out of favor in Minnesota and had dropped behind both Kyler Murray and Carson Wentz on the depth chart. The 23-year-old will get a fresh opportunity in New York, where he should at least settle in as the No. 2 quarterback behind Jameis Winston while Jaxson Dart (knee) is likely out for the season. Though Winston led the Giants to a 12-7 win over the Titans in his first start this past Sunday, he's completed just 25 of 49 pass attempts for 229 yards (4.7 YPA) while playing nearly two full games. Another underwhelming performance or two from Winston could compel the Giants to give McCarthy a look in the starting role once he has time to get up to speed with the new playbook. |

May have suffered ACL tear
Mon, Sep 28, 2026, 8:14 AM
The Giants fear that Burns sustained a torn ACL in his right knee during Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans, Jeff Howe and Jonathan Jones of The Athletic report.
Analysis: New York will hope that an MRI on Monday yields better news for Burns, but the team is bracing for the possibility of the star pass rusher missing the rest of the season. Burns had been held without a sack through the Giants' first three games, but he led the NFC with 16.5 during the 2025 campaign. If Burns ends up missing any length of time, Kayvon Thibodeaux would likely move into a full-time role on the edge opposite Abdul Carter. |

Dominic Zvada Dominic Zvada Nails four short field goals vs. Tennessee
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 6:52 PM
Zvada made all four of his field-goal attempts during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday.
Analysis: Neither team could generate that much offense in tough conditions Sunday, but Zvada helped the Giants build and maintain their lead with four field goals, all of which came from within 40 yards. The rookie kicker has made all six of his field-goal attempts and each of his four extra-point tries through the first three games of the regular season. |

Jameis Winston Jameis Winston Produces zero TDs in win over Titans
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 4:10 PM
Winston completed 14 of 22 passes for 118 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over Tennessee. He added 14 rushing yards on two carries.
Analysis: The 32-year-old quarterback was getting his first start in place of Jaxson Dart (knee), but Winston wasn't asked to do very much as the Giants leaned on their backfield and their defense. To his credit, Winston did avoid turnovers, which may be all coach John Harbaugh needs from him. Winston will look for opportunities to be more productive at home in Week 4 against the Cardinals. |

Malik Nabers Malik Nabers Team-high five grabs in Week 3 win
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 4:04 PM
Nabers caught five of six targets for 26 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans.
Analysis: The Giants' passing game struggled with Jameis Winston under center instead of Jaxson Dart (knee), and while Nabers led the team in catches and targets, he didn't make much of an impact -- his longest gain went for just 12 yards. That doesn't bode well for the rest of the third-year wideout's campaign with Dart not expected back until 2027, but Nabers and Winston will have plenty of time to develop more chemistry. Nabers will take a 12-96-0 line on 19 targets into a Week 4 home tilt against the Cardinals. |

Cam Skattebo Cam Skattebo Reaches triple digits in scrimmage yards
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 3:57 PM
Skattebo carried the ball 20 times for 60 yards and caught three of four targets for 40 yards in Sunday's 12-7 win over the Titans.
Analysis: With Jameis Winston under center instead of Jaxson Dart (knee), the Giants leaned a little more heavily on their backfield and Skattebo saw a season high in touches while hitting for 100-plus scrimmage yards for the first time in 2026. The second-year back's longest play came on a 30-yard toss in the first quarter, as he made himself available downfield to bail out a scrambling Winston. Through three games, Skattebo is showing no ill effects from the ankle injury that ended his rookie campaign early, and he's collected 177 rushing yards and a TD on 50 carries while adding a 7-59-0 line on eight targets. He figures to see a big workload again in Week 4 at home against the Cardinals. |

Scheduled for MRI
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 3:50 PM
Burns will undergo an MRI for a right knee injury that he sustained during the Giants' 12-7 win over the Titans on Sunday, Pat Leonard of the New York Daily News reports.
Analysis: Burns had to be carted off the field after sustaining a right knee injury during he second half of Sunday's game. He's scheduled for an MRI later this evening, at which point the Giants will have a better sense of the recovery timeline for the veteran pass rusher. Kayvon Thibodeaux would be in line for a larger role defensively if Burns were to miss time. |

Leaves game with knee injury
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 2:46 PM
Burns (knee) is questionable to return to Sunday's game against the Titans, Ryan Dunleavy of the New York Post reports.
Analysis: Burns was cleared to play Sunday despite not practicing all week due to a low-ankle sprain. He sustained a knee injury in the second half and was carted off the field, so Kayvon Thibodeaux and Abdul Carter will both see more defensive snaps in Burns' absence. |
|
Inactive for Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 11:43 AM
Banks (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Banks practiced in a limited capacity leading into Week 3, but will miss his second straight game due to a calf injury. Colton Hood should see more playing time in his absence. |

Unavailable Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 11:39 AM
Nubin (calf) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Nubin was a limited participant in practice every day leading into Week 3. With the 25-year-old out, both Ar'Darius Washington and Jason Pinnock are in line for larger roles against Tennessee. |
|
Devin Singletary Devin Singletary Inactive for Week 3
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 11:30 AM
Singletary (coach's decision) is inactive for Sunday's game against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: Singletary had little impact in Week 2, rushing just three times for nine yards amongst a busy backfield. Najee Harris and Tyrone Tracy will serve as complementary options behind Cam Skattebo against Tennessee. |

Starting at safety sans Nubin
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 11:19 AM
With Tyler Nubin (calf) inactive, Washington will start at safety against the Titans on Sunday, Jordan Raanan of ESPN.com reports.
Analysis: Nubin was not cleared by medical staff to play Sunday, so Washington and Jevon Holland will be the Giants' starting safeties for Week 3, with Jason Pinnock and Elijah Campbell providing depth at the position. Washington has two tackles (one solo) through two regular-season games, and the last time he was a regular starter on defense was during the second half of the 2024 campaign as a member of the Ravens. |

Suiting up Sunday
Sun, Sep 27, 2026, 10:56 AM
Burns (ankle) is listed as active Sunday versus the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports
Analysis: Burns suffered a low-ankle sprain during the Giants' 28-6 loss at the Rams last Monday, and while he wasn't expected to require surgery, he also was trending toward an absence Sunday after not practicing in any capacity during Week 3 prep. Instead, he'll be available to New York's defense this weekend, but how much work he'll be able to handle in his current state remains to be seen. |

Braxton Berrios Braxton Berrios Elevated for Sunday's game
Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 4:34 PM
The Giants elevated Berrios from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Dan Salomone of the Giants' official site reports.
Analysis: The Giants have elected to expend Berrios' last practice squad elevation after calling upon the wide receiver for three consecutive weeks. The 30-year-old remains the team's primary kick and punt returner, receiving no targets but recording 81 kick-return yards over the past two games. Berrios will need to be signed to the active roster to participate in any more regular-season games for the Giants after Week 3. |

Jake Haener Jake Haener Signs with Giants' active roster
Sat, Sep 26, 2026, 4:30 PM
The Giants signed Haener from the practice squad to the active roster Saturday, Dan Salomone of the team's official site reports.
Analysis: In the wake of Jaxson Dart's serious left knee injury that will sideline him for the rest of the regular season, Jameis Winston will get the first chance to be New York's starting QB on Sunday against the Titans, and Haener's standing as the only other signal-caller on the roster implied that he'd serve as the backup in the initial contest without Dart. Whether or not that'll last beyond Week 3 remains to be seen, but Haener does have NFL experience under his belt, as he completed 18 of 39 passes for 226 yards, one touchdown and one interception and rushed 11 times for 22 yards in eight appearances (one start) as a member of the Saints in 2024. |

Set for Sunday
Fri, Sep 25, 2026, 8:53 PM
Thomas (groin) does not have any injury designation ahead of Sunday's game against the Titans, Mike Garafolo of NFL Network reports.
Analysis: Thomas was limited in Wednesday's practice before logging a DNP on Thursday. The left tackle upgraded to a limited participant once again Friday, managing to avoid any injury designation for Sunday's contest. Thomas will suit up to protect Jameis Winston's blindside due to the injury to starting quarterback Jaxson Dart (knee). |
